 It may still be little way off, but Widescreen Weekend 2015 is starting
to beckon. We’re delighted to say it will continue to tell the story of
film through boundary-pushing technology and a myriad of spectacularly
large format films that you won’t see anywhere else. This year’s event
at the National Media Museum celebrates the 60th anniversary of the
Todd-AO widescreen system with a showing of the first film made using
the process – Rodgers and Hammerstein’s award-winning
Oklahoma! (1955). And it
wouldn’t be Widescreen Weekend without our world-renowned Cinerama
screen – we’ll be showing the European premiere of the digitally
restored The
Best of Cinerama
(1962), meticulously handled by filmmaker and restoration expert David Strohmaier, who will be in attendance. This makes our Cinerama
repertoire complete, as it is the only Cinerama film yet to be shown on
Pictureville’s deeply curved screen. In addition, arguably the most
popular of all the Cinerama films returns for a dynamic three-projector
performance as we showcase
How The West Was Won
from a dazzling authentic print (1962).
The curved screen will also play
host to Stanley Kubrick’s landmark sci-fi epic
2OO1:
A Space Odyssey (1968). See
it in 70mm – the only way it should be seen! Following its inception
last year, the Museum continues its collaboration with BKSTS The
International Moving Image Society as we again host the Student
Widescreen Film of the Year Competition, encouraging film schools to
promote the unparalleled aesthetics and production values of widescreen
filmmaking. WSW 2015, the 19th edition of the event, will continue to
fulfil everyone’s passion for the best in large format filmmaking and
cinema exhibition – the best is yet to come!
